Otherwise, cook them in very little water, saving the remaining water to thin them for mashing. Cook only until just tender and cool slightly before mashing. If the fruits and vegetables are stringy, sieve them. Then blend with the cook- ing liquid. At the very beginning, thin out the mashed food to near- ly the texture of the milk to which the child is accustomed, Once vegetables are establish- ed, egg yolk may be introduced, cooked either by boiling or poaching. You can mix it with baby's cereal or vegetables. Meats, such as liver, can be cooked in a small amount of li- quid, then sieved or puréed, Poultry and lean meats need to be finely ground before sieving. Fatty, spiced or fried meats should be avoided. For added nourishment, blend the cooked meat with broth, milk or for- mula. Serve heated one-small por- tions to baby. If foods which have been blended tend to separate, add dry baby cereal to the mix- ture. MM MM GOOD! HOUSEWIVES You can be sure .. if it's Westinghouse. Compare our INSTALLED price.

Some of you may answer, "None." But to a Stuky, who's missing a "c", or a Daw, who's missing an "e", or a McClean, who's missing an "a", or a Townsend, who's missing an "11", it makes a big difference. From personal experience, I know how frustrating the absence of those tiny letters can be. I've been called many things, and into my mailbox flows letters addressed to Elaine Townshed, Elaine Townsend, Elaine Towsend and Elaine Tonsend. The most frequent error is Townsend, because the majority of Townsends in this area have no When someone asks my name, I often spell it and I always emphasize the "h". If they write my name, I automatically caution them, "Don't forget the .11", My old friends accept the sacred"h" without question, and the new ones soon learn not to tamper with it. In fact, one neigh- bour is so well-trained that she spells all Townshends with an "II", including Townsend Street in Clinton. But some people just don't realize how important that "h" is to our family. According to our folklore, the original British Townshends all spelled the name with an "h". Through the generations, some families dropped it, but my ancestors refused to. Gradually the Townshends became the minority, but they still clung to the "h'. Several explanations can be given for this situation. I could insinuate, for example, the branches that dropped the "h" lacked consideration for tradition. Since I belong to the minority group, however, I fear that would be unwise. Perhaps my ancestors didn't believe in going along with the crowd; maybe they liked being different. Or, maybe they were sticklers for tradition or just too stubborn to change. Stub- bornness seemed to run in our family, although you'd never know it by my generation. Although the stubbornness has mellowed, the loyalty to the "11" remains strong. It's caused by more than a regard for tradition or a passion for details. The letter stands for something, but none of us have figured out what. "H" could mean a lot of things, not all of them complimentary. Nevertheless, when any of our family members face problems, my grandfather reminds us, "You've got an "h" in your name!" Even though we don't know what it means, it usually makes us try a little harder. Maybe the Stuckys, Dawes and MacCleans feel the same way about the "c", the "e", and the "a". Those silent letters may confuse some of you, but their absence frustrates us. The effect isn't as drastic as an "n" missing from a Brown, or an "h" missing from a Smith or an "e" missing from a White. But they are nonetheless provoking. Even though the silent letters don't change the pronunciation or the meaning, our names just don't look right to us without them. As a member of the Save the Silent Letters Association, I beg you to humour me. And don't forget the "h"! The Ninth Annual West- minster Weekend held Friday May 28th to Sunday May 30th at Westminster College, London, was attended by over 170 delegates, over half of them for the first time.

It also gives you com- plete control over what your baby eats, and the amount of in- gredients. This is to your advan- tage especially when your baby has allergies. All you really need are stan- dard kitchen utensils. A blender and pressure cooker are handy but not essential. If you don't have a blender, use a strainer or fine sieve. Pay special attention to cleanliness, and sterilize all utensils in boiling water before using them, To test baby food for smoothness, rub a bit of purée between your fingers. Care must be taken when mak- ing baby foods from family left- overs , It should be freshly made and used within a day or two, for maximum nutrient retention and safety, Season the food to your baby's palate, and not the family's. So don't add gravy, butter, margarine or extra salt, sugar or seasonings, It's also possible to prepare baby's food ahead of time, and freeze it in portions, in ice cube trays. When frozen, transfer them to a plastic freezer bag and seal tightly. Thaw the desired number of cubes in the refrigerator or over hot water or low heat, Since a baby's food habits change rapidly and to preserve best food quality freeze only what you can use within a month. _Fruit and vegetables should be washed in running water and scrubbed off with a brush if necessary. They should be cook- ed in their skins and, preferably steamed to retain their IS YOUR PICTURE IN THIS WEEK'S Zimes-AWocafe You Can Order a Professionally Prepared Glossy Reprint 5" x 7" - '1.75 8" x 10" - '2.50 To Place Your Order Please Call 235-1331 Give Your Husband a Fathers Day Gift That You Can Enjoy Too with a Westinghouse Central Air Conditioner and Electronic Air Filter on your Forced Air Furnace Heat, humidity, sleepless nights ... why put up with them?
